Therapy management and outcome of acute hydrocephalus secondary to intraventricular hemorrhage in adults. Chin Neurosurg J 2024; 10:17. [PMID: 38831472 PMCID: PMC11149196 DOI: 10.1186/s41016-024-00369-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) refers to bleeding within the brain's ventricular system, and hydrocephalus is a life-threatening complication of IVH characterized by increased cerebrospinal fluid accumulation in the ventricles resulting in elevated intracranial pressure. IVH poses significant challenges for healthcare providers due to the complexity of the underlying pathophysiology and lack of standardized treatment guidelines. Herein, we performed a systematic review of the treatment strategies for hydrocephalus secondary to IVH. METHODS This systematic review was prospectively registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023450786). The search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science on July 15, 2023. We included original studies containing valid information on therapy management and outcome of hydrocephalus secondary to primary, spontaneous, and subarachnoid or intracranial hemorrhage following IVH in adults that were published between 2000 and 2023. Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) or modified Ranking Scale (mRS) scores during follow-up were extracted as primary outcomes. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for Cohort Studies or Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 Tool. RESULTS Two hundred and seven patients from nine published papers, including two randomized controlled trials, were included in the analysis. The GOS was used in five studies, while the mRS was used in four. Seven interventions were applied, including craniotomy for removal of hematoma, endoscopic removal of hematoma with/without endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV), traditional external ventricular drainage (EVD), and various combinations of EVD, lumbar drainage (LD), and intraventricular fibrinolysis (IVF). Endoscopic removal of hematoma was performed in five of nine studies. Traditional EVD had no obvious benefit compared with new management strategies. Three different combinations of EVD, LD, and IVF demonstrated satisfactory outcomes, although more studies are required to confirm their reliability. Removal of hematoma through craniotomy generated reliable result. Generally, endoscopic removal of hematoma with ETV, removal of hematoma through craniotomy, EVD with IVF, and EVD with early continuous LD were useful. CONCLUSION EVD is still crucial for the management of IVH and hydrocephalus. Despite a more reliable result from the removal of hematoma through craniotomy, a trend toward endoscopic approach was observed due to a less invasive profile.

Abstract
Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) is a severe and acute type of stroke with a complex pathophysiology and is a therapeutic challenge. This case report described a man in his early 50's diagnosed with IVH by computed tomography (CT). Although bilateral extraventricular drainage (EVD) was undertaken, a postoperative CT scan showed that while the left catheter was correctly positioned, the right catheter had been wrongly inserted into the cisterna ambiens. The procedure was equivalent to simultaneous EVD combined with cisternostomy. As a consequence, the haematoma was rapidly removed, the risk of infection and long-term hydrocephalus was reduced, and prognosis was improved. Large case-control studies or prospective studies are needed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this treatment modality.

Abstract
Neuroendoscopy procedures in pediatrics have expanded beyond the endoscopic third ventriculostomy. As such, a direct and angled endoscope allows further visualization around the corner, capturing the surrounding anatomy. Intraoperative live images look different than radiological images. Hence, in this single institutional experience, we correlate neuroradiology images with intraoperative intraventricular endoscopic views of the third-fourth ventricle, pituitary, pineal gland, cerebral aqueduct, and foramen magendie and luschka. Our collective case series reveals a few interesting case scenarios of normal and abnormal findings during the procedure. Careful navigation of the neuroendoscope is crucial to prevent injury to the neurovascular bundle. A close relationship with normal anatomy from radiological imaging is necessary to prevent it from getting lost once inside the ventricular cavity.

Urokinase administration for intraventricular hemorrhage in adults: A retrospective analysis of hemorrhage volume reduction and clinical outcomes. J Chin Med Assoc 2023; 86:930-934.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a type of ventricular bleeding that results in significant morbidity and mortality. Multiple studies have investigated the use of urokinase in IVH treatment. The use of urokinase may lead to higher rates of hematoma resolution and lower mortality rates. However, further studies are required to determine efficacy of urokinase administration. This study examined the association between urokinase use, IVH volume reduction, and clinical outcomes. METHODS In total, 94 adult patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage with ventricular extension or primary IVH were enrolled between 2015 and 2021. Participants were categorized into two groups: "EVD combined with fibrinolysis" and "EVD only." The primary objective was to assess the reduction of IVH severity. Additionally, the study evaluated the functional outcomes and shunt dependency rate as secondary outcomes. Non-contrast computed tomography scans were obtained to measure the severity of IVH using the mGRAEB score. The main outcomes were the association among urokinase administration, reduced IVH severity, and functional outcomes. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the reduction rate of mGRAEB scores within a 7-day period (-50.0 [-64.4 to -32.5] % vs -44.2 [-59.3 to -7.9] %; p = 0.489). In addition, investigation of the third and fourth ventricles showed similar findings between the two groups. Urokinase treatment was not associated with significant differences in the modified Rankin Scale (5.0 (4.0-5.0) vs. 4.5 (4.0-5.0), p = 0.674) or shunt dependency rate (33.3% vs 39.3%, p = 0.58). CONCLUSION This study found that intraventricular urokinase use in patients with IVH was not associated with reduced IVH severity. In addition, urokinase use was not associated with better functional outcomes or minor shunt dependency rates.

Abstract
Intraventricular hemorrhage is one of the most fatal forms of brain injury that is a common complication of premature infants. However, the therapy of this type of hemorrhage is limited, and new strategies are needed to reduce hematoma expansion. Here we show that the meningeal lymphatics is a pathway to remove red blood cells from the brain's ventricular system of male human, adult and newborn rodents and is a target for non-invasive transcranial near infrared photobiomodulation. Our results uncover the clinical significance of phototherapy of intraventricular hemorrhage in 4-day old male rat pups that have the brain similar to a preterm human brain. The course of phototherapy in newborn rats provides fast recovery after intraventricular hemorrhage due to photo-improvements of lymphatic drainage and clearing functions. These findings shed light on the mechanisms of phototherapy of intraventricular hemorrhage that can be a clinically relevant technology for treatment of neonatal intracerebral bleedings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) not only caused a large surge of respiratory infections, it also had a potential association with and increases the risk of stroke. The pandemic has certainly provided new challenges and opportunities in the management of acute ischemic stroke (AIS); however, data regarding outcomes of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV TPA) administration in stroke patients with COVID-19 remains limited. CASE PRESENTATION Three AIS patients with confirmed COVID-19 treated using IV tPA. One case had excellent outcome, while the other cases showed unfavorable results. The risk-benefit ratio of IV TPA in COVID-19 remains unclear. CONCLUSION In this article, we discuss the possible explanation behind these different outcomes. Although IV tPA could not cure COVID-19, we suggest that its administration should not be delayed in AIS patients with COVID-19.
